//Nordin Zuber writes:// I have been trialling SBG with my Year 8 mathematics class for the last few months. edmodo allows me to:
 * Put copies of outcomes tracking sheets - with room for students to progressively record their quiz results
 * Put supplementary copies of quizzes on edmodo for students to download at home for second and third attempts (for most quizzes I'm OK for them to take them home - I trust this class to do the right thing - and I will retest them later anyway)
 * Unfortunately I can't see how to use edmodo to support allowing students to track their own grades. Maybe that's not the point of edmodo. An interesting application is ActiveGrade [] - I would love to use this but just too many hurdles in my Year 8 context (school firewall blocking, limited in-class access to computer). Might try again next term.
